Billy Meier's photos - the ones I've seen at any rate - are a little disappointing, but the vitriol that guy gets is way disproportionate. Again,
some people get attacked so viciously (and in the case of Dr. Reed, dubiously) that you can't help suspecting an agenda there.
Again, where do UFOwatchdog get their money? Are there lots of people out there chipping in to their brave efforts to "maintain standards" in
UFOlogy? I claim that that's their aim simply because one of their frequent allegations is that people are bringing UFOlogy into disrepute. And
that just always makes me laugh.
As for Linda Moulton Howe - a brief digression. One thing I've noticed in my reading of "the Mammoth Encyclopaedia of Extraterrestrial
Encounters", which I regard as a handy first reference tome and nothing more, is that cattle mutilations, as described in Howe's
An Alien
Harvest, have no connection with UFOs. You have to look up "animal mutilations", which is hardly the most obvious term, and you get a little
snippet written by Jim and Coral Lorenzen, founders of APRO, that dismisses it all being done by a Satanic cult.
Weird, huh?
Lorenzen died in 1988. The book was published in 2001. It's a compendium of stuff from different authors, and cattle mutilation gets far less
coverage than, say, "Demonic Theory of UFOs" and other stuff that I personally would say was less evidence-driven and more trivial.
I also found
this page which details testimony given to them from various
soruces that the craft observed by Lonnie Zamora in Soccorro was seen to land at Holliman AFB.
My suspicious mind says that that's disinfo to support the "experimental craft"/one of ours explanation for that sighting.
All very odd.
